@hchavers They stopped existing as the company that they once were, long ago. The name is used to offer aome legitimacy to otherwise unremarkable and cheap, consumer electronics and random crap.
It is common for old-established companies to sell off their names when they go bust. FAO Swartz is like this now. RCA is another example.
I have the foot version. Paid $99. Loved it so much bought 2 more for family. Every night I spend 1+ hours with my feet in it. There’s a masochist setting for the extra intense massage.
I got it for my wife for Christmas. She loves it. I prefer the foot massage function over the calf massage. The foot massage has a lot of effective rollers in it. The calf massage just inflates pressure bags that (to me) hurt. But the wife likes it, so its all good.
Ordered one on January 12. Just got a shipment notification (today’s the 24th). Why does it take 12 days to ship? Maybe Meh should change its name to Ludicrous.
@ptcruiser1701 That said, make sure to unbox and test the massager as soon as it arrives. If there’s any problem with it, you want to find out about it before the 90-day Meh warranty is up.

Calf massage? Is this how they make veal?
@yakkoTDI for the really expensive, exotic stuff, yes.
/showme a calf being massaged
@mediocrebot I don’t like where this is going
@awk @mediocrebot Neither does that cow.
@awk @mediocrebot @yakkoTDI was surprised to see AI finally got some human digits fully correct. But ay oh, oh ay, the rest of it is a bit disturbing!?
/showme a banana for scale being massaged
Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
I think there is a particular subReddit for don’t stick a … thing … in that.

Did Sharper Image go out of business? They will be shortly with these types of products.
Sharper Image had some really flashy and innovative products. Looks like they took a Meh turn.

@hchavers @zachhh See also: Bell + Howell. Ugh.
Amusing that I’m reading this writeup with my feet inside another similar massager that works really well (HT-Reflex 2).
/showme a damn banana being massaged!
@haydesigner I like the color palette
@mediocrebot That’s like halfway between a dentist and electric chair…
Which is kinda how I feel about the massager. Can’t make myself not think it’s going to shock the crap out of me in a month or two.
/giphy fear
/showme a banana massaging a calf
this is cute

Got it as a gift, wasn’t wanted, trying to sell it now but no takers. New in box.

Great for those that have leg pain. Stimulates the circulation and relieves achy legs.
What is the size limit for feet? Asking because I have big feet

I liked the alliteration, @awk

The /showme command is a member feature. Join membership to try it out.

@mediocrebot Are you mad they cut off your alcohol supply?
/showme half a calf getting its calves massaged by a calf massager while having a half-caffeinated coffee
@mediocrebot um, those aren’t the calf’s calves being massaged!
And do we know that’s a half-caf coffee?
@JWhirly @mediocrebot
At least they are wearing gloves…

@ptcruiser1701 “Ludicrous” would imply that they’re much faster.
@ptcruiser1701 That said, make sure to unbox and test the massager as soon as it arrives. If there’s any problem with it, you want to find out about it before the 90-day Meh warranty is up.
@ptcruiser1701
If I had to venture a guess I would say that winter storm Heather probably played a crucial part in that…
